I think the old addage that a car is worth what someone is willing to pay for it is appropos for Cobra replicas. Mine is coming up on 10 years and 20,000 miles, but I've had three engines in it - the stroker only has about 10K worth.
When I first bought it, I agonized over keeping it pristine and showroom fresh - but as the years passed & the stone chips accumulated, I decided to let it age as one would have let a real one age 40 years ago.
I ran into Lynn Park & lamented the worn patina it was beginning to show & his comment was, "Hey, it's starting to look like a real Cobra!"
If and when I decide to sell - I'm pretty sure someone out there would rather have an example with some battle scars as well as knowing that a lot of the problems that plagued early SPFs have been taken care of.
I have no plans of dramatically knocking down the price because of mileage and the fact that it's status as a trailer queen faded years ago. If that means sitting on it for a long time - so be it. It's used, but it's far from used up.
